I've always loved this movie from the first time I saw it as a young girl. Bette Davis' mother's love angle is moving and the Glenn Ford's humorous obsession with luck goes from funny to making him a wreck. The characters are so classic you can't hel... (read more)

Quien mejor que Capra para relatarnos estos cuentos llenos de optimismo, esperanza y "finales felices".
